Thursday's Bird Watch!

This Anna's Hummingbird photo was taken from our balcony unit in The Lodge here at Dallas Retirement Village on December 7th.  We have had a lot of activity lately from Anna's Hummingbirds, and on this day at least three different birds seem to be having a territorial dispute going on.  Males have the distinct ability to flash their brilliant red coloring, presumably in a show of male dominance. When not in the display mode the head and shoulders will be a dull black coloration. Keep a watch out for males as they establish their territory and attract females.
